    Sunday Weighers... or is it only me?

    I'm back on minimins after having a break and gaining 4stone in 18 months (I'm so annoyed with myself but I need to keep telling myself I have still lost some weigh) and I will do it again. This time next week I'll be on here with an update on how much I've lost on my first week :)

    Thank you everyone :) My now photos were taken last week on holiday. This year's holiday has been amazing being able to wear anything I had in the suitcase! The dress was like a tenner from ebay!

    Getting back into it after a holiday?

    Well I still have a stone to go, I got back from holiday on Monday (2 weeks all inclusive in Cuba) with a 4lb weight gain at Tuesday's weigh in (which is amazing considering I drank my body weight in cocktails!) But I'm now struggling to stick to the plan. I'm following Slimming World, not...

    How did your family react to the new you?

    People who care about me have been very positive about the whole weightloss. All of my family, friends and colleagues have been amazing and encouraged me to keep going. I've not weighed this light since I was 12 years old, so going from 'big since teens' to my current size is a huge deal and a...

    I've lost 2 1/2lbs this week taking my weight to 13.13.5lbs only only just in the 13-12 group see you all over there soon :)
  31. M

    Why has my weight gone up .....

    You may also find that your weight goes up before it comes down. I get weighed on a Tuesday, so a Saturday night I get on my scales and can expect to be 4lbs heavier than my last weigh in, my average weekly weightloss is around 2lbs.

    Where do you buy your holiday clothes?

    I'll be needing new holiday clothes this year after losing almost 5 stone, hoping to get it up to 6 by August. Just wondering where does everyone else buy their holiday clothes from? I'm going to look for primark mostly but also new look etc... any other amazing shops?

    My consultant has talked me into giving her my before and during pics so she can start a progress board. I know I've posted on here before, but another 1 1/2 stone loss has prompted an update.

    Has anyone else fallen in love with the Asia book?

    I'm a pescatarian and found there were loads I could use or adapt, for example, I modified the sweet and sour chicken to sweet and sour tofu with veg stock instead of chicken stock and the chicken sweetcorn soup I did with tofu and veg stock

    Mine is tomorrow, we're going to hungry horse for a salad with no dressing and their smallest dessert is 7.5 syns, day before weigh in then we're having our real meal on Wednesday :)

    Becoming a vegetarian

    I've been a pescatarian since I was 11, not ethical reasons as such but because I'm phobic of dead animals (I've heard of worse phobias lol) for some reason seafood doesn't bother me, although during the difficult teen phase I was vegan for some time. I found the transition very easy
  46. M

    No more weekly syns

    I think it comes down to if you're happy with your progress, that's what my consultant says... we have one girl in class who loses 1/2lb a week or Maintains and she was sat in class a few weeks ago really upset, consultant suggested it and the girl came back last week with a 2lb loss. I've not...

    Extra Easy: Holiday countdown shred!

    I'd say I became complacent, started 'guessing' how much milk I was allowed, then when I wasn't losing as much, i'd cut down on food. I went 4 months of starving myself thinking I was doing it properly but I wasn't. When I went to group, I realized that I wasn't doing SW at all

    Extra Easy: Holiday countdown shred!

    It's good to have something to look forward to I think :) that's the best motivator. My problem doing it from home is that I didn't really understand it. I did the first 3 stone from home no problem, you'll do it :)

    Hey lottiebird Plateaus are rubbish aren't they? Lol, excellent advice. I have 4 weeks left on my countdown so if there's no major result by then that may be the time period :) It's so upsetting isn't it :( hopefully this week will show a result for both of us :)

    That's a good idea :) I've told my family that I want to go to the hungry horse restaurant because their prawn salad without dressing is syn free and their 'world's smallest dessert' is 7.5 syns. We're all doing SW so it makes life a bit easier :)

    When it stops?

    Not losing weight after being on the diet and following everything to the letter plus 2 1/2 hours of high intensity exercise does make me doubt things for sure... I'm pretty certain that most people would be upset with a maintain after the week I'd had last week. Of course I want to lose weight...

    Can I join? I go to Cuba in 15 weeks, and need to lose as much as possible by then. My mum (a retired SW consultant) thinks I won't get to target by then... I need to lose just over 2 stone... but I'm going to really try. It's my birthday next week but if I keep it low syn it should be Ok :)

    Desperate to lose weight diary!

    Thanks for the reply :) I've weighed in this morning and appear to have lost 5lbs.... even if that goes down to 3lbs at weigh in tomorrow then I can say that's 2 weeks of 1 1/2 lbs so last week wasn't a total waste of time :) I just wish my body would get a grip lol

    100% SWers - 1 day at a time :)

    What does 100% mean? Does it mean no syns at all? Less syns? All superfree and superspeed? I'm desperate for a decent loss over the next few weeks, would this work? Do people on here have good losses every week?
  77. M

    Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

    No idea.... I did everything the same as the week before when I lost 2 1/2 lbs.... my only guess is that I've not mixed things up enough. i'm doing a diet sheet this week. The only thing I did differently was not get weighed so I'd like to blame that lol. I've been so stressed out about it...

    Thank you :) I've now been told my c that fruit is not as good for weight loss as veg, so on with the veg and salad. I'm going to fill out a diet sheet this week but if I've not had a miraculous weight loss between now and the end of my 12 week countdown I'll be joining weight watchers.

    We try to stick to SW too, we go all inclusive to Cuba every year... and it's the same resort as we have fallen in love with the place.

    Has anyone else fallen in love with the Asia book?

    Just received a rep for my puppy thank you to the kind person :) We've tried the sweet and sour but we use the double strength orange juice and more vinegar so it's less 'tomato-ey' plus I've taken the corn flour out and it's not made much difference to the quality and it takes the syns out :)

    Those of you who can lose 3+ lbs a week.....

    Thanks :) I've cheered up about it a bit. I just don't understand how we're asked about mini targets when we have no control of our weight loss. My consultant thinks it's because I'm not having enough speed food so I had speed soup yesterday and feel so bloated today.
  102. M

    Those of you who can lose 3+ lbs a week.....
